La Piazza captures the spirit of an Italian trattoria envisioned by Kristjan Lulaj. Our establishment pays tribute to the essence of the iconic Italian eateries that thrived in mid-20th century New York. These were places where exquisitely prepared, mouthwatering cuisine graced tables in an ambiance that effortlessly merged elegance, comfort, and approachability. While our culinary offerings tip their hat to this rich heritage, they also draw inspiration from the contemporary and future culinary virtuosos and techniques. Signature dishes such as Seafood Salad, Linguini Vongole, Zuppa Di Pesce, Chicken Scarpariello, and Chicken Parmesan are taken to new heights of flavor and presentation.

    Food was good..not amazing. Had to wait an hour for a table even with a reservation. (Not the first time this has happened) The staff needs to get better at telling the tables they need to leave for the next guests or post table time limits like other restaurants do.

    La Piazza seems o be making an effort to make your dining experience more affordable. We went for the $21.95 Prix Fix menu which is available every day until 4PM. The Sea Bass Milanese was one of the best fish dishes I have had - anywhere! My wife had the Chicken Milanese which was also exceptional. Plus - we both brought home half our food for the next day. These were also very reasonable House Wine ($7), Beer ($6), and Cocktail ($9) prices. I would give this visit 4.5 stars and recommend to anyone looking for a great meal out at a reasonable price.

    Food was excellent especially fried calamari appetizer. Only negative feedback from one person in our group was that the pasta with lobster had barely any lobster meat in the dish. Otherwise, everything was excellent. Will definitely return.

    Food is always excellent, hot, and plentiful. This has become one of my favorite restaurants. We had chicken Milanese, swordfish and sea bass. All were great. Apps were great too. And excellent cappocino. I highly recommend la piazza.

    Wonderful experience. I got the Italian wedding soup and it was outstanding!! For my meal I ordered grilled chicken Cesar salad. I didn’t love it because it was loaded with pesto and I do not like pesto. I didn’t want to say anything or complain because the place and service were so lovely. I’ll keep that in mind for next time. Overall, loved it and will be back!

    I made reservations for Xmas eve because I knew it would be busy. I got there and still waited almost an hr. The girl at the seating counter was very apologetic, she was sweet. Finally we sat down and the place is small and very cute. The waiter gave us the menus and brought us our drinks, the drinks were good and festive!! They should have decorated for Christmas it would have made the ambiance better. The food was very al dente to the point done of the pasta was hard, the flavor was good and the portions were great. The desserts were good and pretty. I found another waitress to grab our waiter cuz we were waiting for our check for awhile, he gave it to us and we waited for another while for him to come back. To be honest it was cute and the prices were good. Don’t know if I’d return though.
